GLUTE BUILDER - PART 2


We can only sit and admire the beautiful butt, but to acquire this much prised possession, you have to work your butt off. the second part of this series will take your to next level of understanding and building this one beauty.

1. HIP THRUST: 

Glutes get worked up with the hip thrust. You can notice your gluteus being working overtime when doing the hip thrust. Starting without any weights in recommended to do the hip thrust first, to build functional strength and then start with weights , we come to that after this.
hip thrusts for at least 20 seconds for every 20 minutes that you're in a seated position during the day.
How to perform:
Lie down on your back with your knees bent at 90-degree angles. Place your feet flat on ground hip-width apart near your butt. Then crunch your abs and tilt your pelvis back so that your lower back is flat against the floor. Maintain this pelvic tilt throughout the entire exercise.
Push through your feet and raise your hips as high as you can without arching your lower back. Hold this position for a couple seconds, then slowly reverse the movement.

Make it harder by elevating your shoulders, elevating your feet, or reducing your base of support by placing your fingertips on your forehead.

2. BARBELL HIP THRUST:

The barbell hip thrust is one of the best exercise that we could do to improve your butt.

This exercise, both works for the upper and lower glutes to such an extent that you get a better sculpted butt. The bodyweight version of this exercise, as discussed above has to be mastered before the barbell hip thrust
How to perform:
Place your upper back on a bench with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Put a towel or foam cover on the loaded barbell first placed across your hips so your glutes are near the floor. Then squeeze your glutes and lift your hips until they get in line with your body.  No arching your lower back during this movement. Return to the starting position and repeat.


3. BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT:

The Bulgarian split squat is yet another monster of an exercise that could help you build an amazing sculpted lower body. This exercise activates your quadriceps and builds single-leg stability. Again start without any weights first, build your bodyweight strength, then move to a barbell version.
How to perform:
Stand ahead of a bench, with your back facing it. place the ball of your right foot on the bench as you place your hands behind your head, keep it straight first. Keeping your torso upright, bend your left leg and lower your body until your left leg is bent at least 90 degrees. bend your right knee along with your left knee. Push your body back to the starting position.

4. BARBELL BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT:


Everything same as above, just add a barbell with weights as you progress from your previous version of exercise with bodyweight.

5. THRUSTER:


How to perform:

Start from standing and racked (bar on chest and shoulders with loose grip)
lower to full front squat, rise to full hip and leg extension, continue the bar acceleration upward with a powerful press to lockout, lower bar to racked position and then repeat

BENEFITS:
Thrusters work many of your major muscles. Your quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes; essentially all your major leg muscles; work very hard in the squatting part.
The force developed by your legs is then transmitted into your upper body via your abdominal and lower-back muscles. 


Starting a 3 setter is always a good idea. 3 sets of 11,12,13 reps to build the basic strength on the weights.
